DKR March to May

It’s time for the annual Andrea Mowry March to May KAL.  

WHEN
March 1 - May 31, 2025

WHAT
Any DreaReneeKnits sweater pattern! (WIPS are welcome!) Find all patterns here!

Any DreaReneeKnits shawl pattern! (WIPS are welcome!) Find all patterns here!

SHARE
Post photos of your yarn and projects so we can all oo and ahhh! Share on Instagram as well with the hashtag #DRKMARCH2MAYKAL25 so we can follow along and give you some hearts! (I also love to be tagged so I don’t miss your photos - you can tag me with @dreareneeknits and hashtag #dreareneeknits).

RULES
Just have fun! This is a very casual KAL and a space created for all of YOU to get together digitally! Andrea will pop in now and then to say hello, knit on her own sweater, and of course to check out all of your gorgeous makes!

Many of us don’t have a local knitting group, so this is a great way to get together online with other knitters and enjoy the company and support of our peers as we dive into a new knit! Cheer each other on, share tips and make some new friends! (Andrea met one of her absolute best friends during a KAL!) Everyone is welcome here!

PATTERN SUPPORT
Nothing warms our hearts more than seeing knitters help each other out. We still learn new tips all the time and are so grateful for the shared knowledge of other knitters! If you have a specific question about a pattern please email: 
drkpatternhelp@gmail.com

These forums can get very chatty, and we would hate to miss someone who needs help. This email address is the promptest and most reliable way to get your questions answered! Please also remember that this forum is public, so we do ask that you don’t post any specific instructions (or pictures of the instructions) from the pattern as that would be a copyright violation.

PRIZES
Oh yes - there will be prizes! To be entered to win, participate here in the forums or on Instagram and make sure to post a picture of your finished sweater in the FO thread by midnight EST on May 31, 2025!

I need to cast on a new project. It’s been a while since I’ve started something new.

This afternoon I started to look at colours for What the Fade?! I’m going to use Hedgehog Skinny Singles. Hopefully our boxes arrive tomorrow because I want to see the new colours before deciding. 

You can purchase the pattern for What the Fade?! on Ravelry.

Quadruple your fading fun!! This shawl starts off with back to back fades thanks to beautiful, bouncy two color brioche! We then end with an epic band of all 6 colors faded together with some relaxing garter stitch! To celebrate this amazing fade, we’ll finish it off with faded tassels, and then wrap it around and wear it all year long! Included in the pattern are links to helpful video tutorials!

I love the tassels and will be adding them to my shawl.

This is a good time to pull out a WIP for an Andrea Mowry pattern and get it finished. I have a few of those too. Are you going to join me for the KAL?

I could be a little late opening tomorrow. We’re going to see our lawyer in the morning to sign all the papers for our new house and the sale of our house.
